Chapter 283
Juliana's attitude displeased Grandma Aubree, who was standing by, "You should have been more
polite in asking your brother for help. Arguing in front of him won't make me inclined to help you if I
were him."
Juliana replied, "Mom, they are family. What's the problem with helping Dave? He has always
respected them since he was young. Is it too difficult to lend a hand?"
Molly remained silent throughout, fearing that if she spoke up, she would end up arguing with Juliana.
Finally, it was Coleen who spoke, saying, "I understand your point. Since I am Dave's elder, I will look
into this matter. You can go now."
Juliana sarcastically remarked, "Can't you handle it today? With such a large company, it shouldn't be
difficult to arrange something like a managerial position for Dave, right? And you want us to leave."
Coleen replied, "There are currently no suitable positions for Dave in the company."
To be honest, Mr. Kendrick also found it difficult to arrange a job for his nephew. If his nephew truly had
the ability, helping him would be a simple task. However, his character made him skeptical, and
perhaps he would even cause trouble in the future.
Juliana expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "You can arrange for your own son to become a captain
at the police station, but you can't find a job for your nephew? Is there such a big difference between
your son and your nephew?"
Whenever someone criticized Chad, Molly couldn't help but speak up. "My brother got in on his own This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
merits, and he got promoted based on his own abilities. If your son is capable, he can take the exams
and prove himself. Don't baselessly blame my brother. Be careful, or I will report you!"
Mr. Kendrick also confirmed his daughter's words, saying, "Chad has never given his mother and me
any reason to worry. He earned his job and career through his own hard work."
"Oh, are you saying my son is incompetent?" Juliana asked.
Coleen and Mr. Kendrick looked at their unresponsive nephew and sighed, realizing that the difference
between people lay in their ambitions.
Coleen asked her nephew, "Dave, what kind of job do you want?"
"Anything will do." Dave said.
Coleen didn’t say a word.
Mr. Kendrick asked him, "What are your plans for the future, then?"
Dave said, "I'll listen to my mom."
Now Mr. Kendrick had nothing to say either.
Chad was his brother, several years older than Dave. He spoke up, "You just graduated, so you might
feel a bit lost. Spend some time gaining experience in the real world, figure out your goals, and make a
plan. When you need help from the family, we will be there for you. Right now, you're not clear about
anything, and we don't know how to help you."
Mr. Kendrick agreed with his son's words, "Your brother is right. Having resources within the family can
give you opportunities, but you need to first know what you want to do."
"I want money." Dave said.
Coleen asked, "Where do you want to work?"
Dave answered, "Anywhere."
Juliana hastily made a choice for her son, "Havenbrook will do."
Coleen said, "You can go back for now. If there's a suitable job, I will contact you."
Upon hearing Coleen's words, Juliana thought she was being dismissed, that Coleen didn't want to
help arrange a job for her son.
"Can't you talk about it today? You know so many people, yet you can't find a job?" Coleen asked
angrily, her voice filled with rage.
"Can Dave be a janitor?" Coleen asked angrily.
Juliana replied, "Are you trying to embarrass us? You, with all your wealth and status, want your
nephew to work as a janitor? Aren't you ashamed? Strangers can spend you $20,000 on a watch, but
you can't help your own nephew? Do you have any conscience?"
Molly interjected, "Can you please stop arguing? If my parents don't help your son today, it's their own
decision. Helping you is a matter of goodwill, not an obligation. You've lived for over fifty years, can't
you think like a normal person?"
"Molly, how dare you be so disrespectful. The Byrne family's affairs are none of your business." Juliana
retorted.
Coleen, completely furious, said, "Juliana, remember this. I am the host, and you are the guest. Guests
should understand their boundaries. This is my house, Chad and Molly are my children, and you should
show them some respect. The money my husband and I have earned is for our children, whether they
own a $20,000 watch, or a $200,000, even $2 million watch, it's all earned by us for them. If you feel
unfair, go earn money and buy things for your own children. As for your son's matter, sorry to be frank,
but I can't help. Neither can my husband. You have to figure it out yourselves. And if you dare to swear
at my daughter again, I won't be polite."
When Vivian heard that the two families were about to fight, she immediately tried to mediate, "Please
don't get angry. My mom didn't have any ill intentions. She just cares too much about you and is afraid
you might be deceived by strangers. Dave still needs your help."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Molly is my daughter! You are the strangers." Coleen said.
Juliana was thoroughly enraged, "Your daughter has long been dead, and it's because of you. You are
still mistaking strangers for your own daughter; don't deceive yourself."
Juliana's words completely enraged Coleen. She trembled with anger. Chad hurriedly went over and
embraced his mother, saying, "Mom, it's not your fault."
Coleen's eyes turned red. This was the pain of her life. She clenched her teeth, hating both Juliana's
words and her own past mistakes.
Grandpa Elmer stood up and slapped his daughter in the face, saying, "Get out."
Mr. Kendrick looked at his selfish sister and said, "We should have less contact in the future."
Juliana covered her face and cried, "I didn't say anything wrong."
Molly couldn't hold back any longer. She first apologized to her father, "Dad, I'm sorry, I couldn't control
myself."
She stood up and used one hand to grab the chair, smashing it towards Juliana across the table. She
was genuinely angry, not just trying to scare people.
Juliana was knocked down to the ground. Vivian quickly dodged and avoided getting hurt. She
hurriedly crouched down to check on her stepmother, asking, "Mom, are you alright?"
Juliana's face was bruised, and the pain made it difficult for her to stand up. Molly walked over, pushing
Vivian and others, and said, "Get out."
"Molly, this is not your home." They protested.
Molly approached and slapped Vivian in the face, saying, "My mom has repeated it countless times, do
you have hearing problems? Get out!"
Coleen seemed trapped in her own constructed world, unable to break free. Her mind kept replaying
what happened fifteen years ago when she took her daughter to that small clinic instead of choosing a
big hospital.
Molly's attitude was resolute. She picked up a fruit knife from the table and pointed it at them, saying,
"If you don't leave, I will really take action."
Suddenly, they remembered Chad's warning from yesterday, and they started to feel afraid as they
looked at Molly's eyes.
Molly pointed at them, forcing them to leave. The two elderly members of the Byrne family shed tears
of anger. Their daughter's actions were unwise, causing the two families to drift apart during the
Christmas season.
Mr. Kendrick held his wife in his arms, constantly comforting her, "It's all in the past, we still have Molly.
Honey, don't scare me."
Chad also took care of his mother's emotions. She couldn't absorb anything at the moment.
Molly forced the people to the door.
Suddenly, they left.
